Lovitt Resources Inc. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the six months ended December 31, 2020 (Unaudited - Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
The Company is incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia). The Company holds land and mineral interests located in Wenatchee, Washington, U.S.A. The Company finances its operations by selling land.
The Company’s principal office is located at 20392 73A Avenue, Langley, B.C. V2Y 1V1.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has made an assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern and is aware of material uncertainties as set out below that may cast significant doubt on the validity of this assumption. At December 31, 2020, the Company has no source of operating cash flow and a deficit of $ 6,351,969 (December 31, 2019 - $ 6,094,487). At December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $ 1,826,645 (December 31, 2019 - $ 1,696,316) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on its ability to obtain additional financing. The current equity market conditions, the challenging funding environment and the low price of the Company’s common shares make it dilutive and difficult to raise funds by the sale of the Company’s shares. In order to ensure its ability to continue operating, the Company expects to sell land and any remaining non-mining equipment to finance a mineral exploration and development program. However, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for investments or operations.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of a strain of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which has resulted in a series of public health and emergency measures that have been put in place to combat the spread of the virus. The duration and impact of COVID 19 is unknown at this time and it is not possible to reliably estimate the impact that the length and severity of these developments will have on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of, and classification of, liabilities which would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.
The amounts shown as mineral properties and related deferred costs represent costs net of recoveries to date, less amounts written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values. Recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties, the ability of the Company to obtain financing necessary to complete the exploration and development of its mineral property interests, and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral property interests.

Lovitt Resources Inc. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the six months ended December 31, 2020 (Unaudited - Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and its interpretations, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies followed in these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2020.
Basis of measurement
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flows information.
Basis of consolidation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lovitt Mining Company, Inc. (a U.S. corporation). Lovitt Mining Company, Inc.’s financial statements include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, Gold King Inc. (a U.S. corporation). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain.
The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant accounting judgements
-
i) The determination of categories of financial assets and financial liabilities has been identified as an accounting policy which involved judgments or assessments made by management.
-
ii) Management is required to assess the functional currency of each entity in the Company. In concluding that the U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the parent and its subsidiaries, management considered the currency that mainly influences the cost of providing goods and services in each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. As no single currency was clearly

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued)
Significant accounting judgements (continued)
dominant, the Company also considered secondary indicators including the currency in which funds from financing activities are denominated and the currency in which funds are retained.
- iii) Management is required to assess impairment in respect of intangible exploration and evaluation assets. The triggering events are defined in IFRS 6. In making the assessment, management is required to make judgments on the status of each project and the future plans towards finding commercial reserves. The nature of exploration and evaluation activity is such that only a proportion of projects are ultimately successful, and some assets are likely to become impaired in future periods.
Management has determined that there were no impairment indicators present in respect of its mineral properties and as a result no impairment test was performed.
-
iv) Although the Company takes steps to verify title to exploration and evaluation assets in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
-
v) The assessment of the probability of future taxable income in which deferred tax assets can be utilized is based on the Company’s estimates of future profits or losses adjusted for significant nontaxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. If a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, especially when it can be utilized without a time limit, that deferred tax asset is usually recognized in full. The recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed individually by management based on the specific facts and circumstances. Details of these can be found in Note 11.
-
vi) Judgment is required to determine when transfer of control occurs relating to the sale of the Company’s land and other property, plant and equipment. Management based its assessment on a number of indicators of control, which include, but are not limited to whether the Company has present right of payment, and whether the significant risks and rewards and legal title have been transferred to the purchaser.
3. NOTE RECEIVABLE
On January 4, 2019, the Company sold a land parcel and settled part of the consideration with a $ 54,000 note receivable. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 6% and will be paid over sixty-two monthly instalments of $ 1,000 commencing February 1, 2019. The purchaser has the option to prepay all or part of the note.

8. SHARE CAPITAL
a) Authorized Capital:
Unlimited number of common shares without par value, and 100,000,000 preferred shares with par value of $ 0.00001 per share.
b) Shares
The Company’s outstanding shares have remained at 9,324,951 since May 2, 2012.
On August 4, 2020, the Company issued a total of 1,724,012 common shares for gross proceeds of $193,869.
c) Warrants
On August 4, 2020, the Company issued 1,724,012 warrants in connection with the private placement. The warrants are at a price of $0.25 and expire on February 4, 2021.
d) Share option plan
The Company has established a rolling share option plan (the “Plan”), in which the maximum number of common shares which can be reserved for issuance under the Plan is 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The exercise price of the options is set at the Company’s closing share price on the day before the grant date, less allowable discounts in accordance with the policies of the TSXV. Options granted may be subject to vesting provisions as determined by the Board of Directors and have a maximum term of five years.
Option-pricing models require the use of estimates and assumptions including the expected volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and, therefore, existing models do not necessarily provide reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s share options.
The Company had no share options outstanding as at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy, for financial instruments measured at fair value, that reflects the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. from derived prices); and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based upon observable market data.
The fair value of cash is based on Level 1 inputs for the fair value hierarchy.

b)
Financial risk management
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfil its payment obligations. Cash, amounts receivable and note receivable are exposed to credit risk due to the potential for counterparties to default on their contractual obligations. The maximum potential loss on all financial instruments is equal to the carrying amount of those items. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with major financial institutions and dealing with credit worthy parties.
Liquidity risk
The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash, in addition to listing assets that it can sell. The Company intends also to raise additional financing through the issuance of capital and its ability to do so is dependent on a number of factors including market acceptance, stock price and exploration results. See also Note 1. All of the Company’s financial liabilities are classified as current and are anticipated to mature within the next fiscal period.
Interest rate risk
Note payable and demand loans bear interest at fixed rates, or do not bear interest, and therefore do not expose the Company to interest rate cash flow risk.

b) Financial risk management (continued)
Foreign exchange risk
The Company is subject to foreign exchange rate risk as the Company incurs transactions and has assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars, whereas the parent and subsidiaries’ functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The fluctuation of the US Dollar in relation to the Canadian Dollar will have an impact upon the profitability of the Company and the value of the Company’s assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks.
Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company’s portfolio of properties has exposure to predominantly gold. The price of this commodity will affect the value of the Company and the potential value of its properties.
